Febuxostat is a prescription medication used to lower uric acid levels in people with gout. It works by blocking xanthine oxidase, an enzyme responsible for producing uric acid in the body. Febuxostat is taken once daily by mouth and is available in tablet form. It can be taken with or without food.
If you’re struggling with gout symptoms or high uric acid levels, a licensed provider on Klarity can help determine whether febuxostat is right for you.

Here’s how to quickly and easily get a febuxostat prescription online through Klarity if medically appropriate:
Febuxostat is part of a class of medications that reduce uric acid production. Here’s how it compares to other gout treatments:
| Medication | Class | Administration | Frequency | Notes |
| Febuxostat | Xanthine oxidase inhibitor | Oral tablet | Daily | Second-line option for patients who can’t use allopurinol |
| Allopurinol | Xanthine oxidase inhibitor | Oral tablet | Daily | First-line treatment for gout |
| Colchicine | Anti-inflammatory | Oral tablet | As needed | Used during acute gout flares |
| Probenecid | Uricosuric agent | Oral tablet | Daily | Increases uric acid excretion through the kidneys |
Febuxostat is often considered for patients who cannot tolerate allopurinol or for whom allopurinol is ineffective. While febuxostat may be more effective in lowering serum uric acid levels, it carries a higher risk of cardiovascular events compared to allopurinol. Colchicine is typically used for the treatment of acute gout flares and not for long-term uric acid management.
